This was a more unusual gig I had last week. It was a difficult bead blaster bronze surface but the piece was well made. The thing actually tarnished under my hands as I worked on it and of course not much available as far as removing the tarnish from the textured surface.
When I asked about it they said "This agent successfully placed a thumbtack on Bin Ladens chair."
On a more serious note I would have to commend anyone who's willing to risk their personal safety for their job and country. No one's gonna torture me for being in the wrong place at the wrong time and screwing up with my graver.
